Account book, 1859-1861.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122385165

The account book records activities in what was apparently a small retail drygoods and clothing store with three or four employees. There are entries for sales of yard goods, including calicoes, flannels, and muslins, and for finished goods, including underpants, "drawers", chesterfields, cloaks, shawls, and tablecloths. There are separate sections on "Cloak making" and "store expenses" plus one page of diary notes. A two-page section lists "goods forfeited" when customers were unable to pay bills.
